<\/a><\/p>\n“Hollywood” Jeff Lesser Would Be Proud<\/strong><\/p>\n TOMPKINS SQUARE PARK \u2013 Fresh Kills defenseman Kevin “The Planet” Foster has always been known and feared for his long, booming shots from the point.\u00a0 Although the sage veteran has been relatively quiet throughout regular and postseason, he made a huge impact in Sunday’s championship game.\u00a0 Foster’s blast from the blue line late in the second half broke a 1-1 stalemate and clinched his second BTSH championship with Fresh Kills.<\/p>\n Foster’s captain Dave Sokolyansky was effusive in his praise for the stalwart defender.\u00a0 Soko noted, “This couldn’t have happened to a nicer, more sensitive guy.\u00a0 As much as I wanted to win, I’m relieved that Kevin scored the game-winner instead of someone like my brother [Mike Sokolyanksy], who’s been a real source of irritation and consternation this season.”\u00a0 Foster’s goal came as a bit of surprise, as he had scored just one goal during the 2011 season and two in 2010.<\/p>\n Fresh Kills’ other goal also came from the defense.\u00a0 Patrick Moore, who only had two goals in 2011 himself, tied the game at one midway through the first half.\u00a0 Moore’s goal was set up by the “Where am I?” line, consisting of Nick Hobbs and Scott Lee.\u00a0 Lee, who was nearly late for the final after losing track of time while exploring Union Square, started the play with a battle along the dugout behind the net.\u00a0 He chipped a pass to Hobbs, who found Moore wide open in the slot.<\/p>\n Despite Foster and Moore’s heroics, Fresh Kills still voted goaltender Patrick Barch as the team’s playoff MVP.\u00a0 Barch allowed just five goals through four playoff games and made numerous clutch saves in the second half of the final to preserve the 1-1 tie.\u00a0 Defender Ariel Imas commented, “It’s comforting knowing that Patrick is behind me.\u00a0 I try to block as much as I can, but I know that if a shot gets through, Patrick will always come up with the big save.”\u00a0 Barch finished fourth in BTSH with a 1.60 GAA during the regular season.<\/p>\n What The Puck’s goal also came from an unexpected source, as rookie forward Garrett Poston opened the scoring five and a half minutes into the game.\u00a0 Poston, an overlooked part of captain Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer’s offseason acquisitions, rifled a wrist shot past Barch after receiving a cross-court pass from “The All-American Canadian” Adam Skuse (a more heralded acquisition), who was wearing his lucky Bowdoin sweatpants for the game.<\/p>\n What The Puck was playing in its second championship in the past three seasons, as the team also lost in 2009 to the Sky Fighters.\u00a0 Zimmer, who has been the team’s captain since its inception in 2001, was disappointed with the outcome of the game.\u00a0 However, his mood brightened when veteran Mike “The X-Factor” Woodsworth, Amy Farley, and the rest of What The Puck presented their sheepish leader with a scrapbook filled with photos and What The Puck memories.<\/p>\n CHAMPIONSHIP GAME<\/strong> First Half:<\/em> Second Half:<\/em> Congratulations Fresh Kills, 2011 BTSH Champions!
